Convert Word to PDF

Turn a DOCX file into a PDF anyone can open.

DOCXPDF

or drop them here

Processed on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

Convert Word to PDF right in your browser, with no Microsoft Office needed. Drop in a .docx file and you get a PDF that looks the same on any phone, tablet or computer. It’s useful for resumes, cover letters, school assignments and anything else that has to be submitted as a PDF.

Headings, lists, tables and images come across into the PDF. Your fonts are replaced with a clean standard one, so the result is close to your original rather than identical, and line breaks can fall in different places. The document is converted on your own device instead of being sent to a server, so a CV with your address or a contract with client names stays private.

It’s free, with no account and no watermark. Drop in several .docx files at once and each one comes back as its own PDF, ready to attach to a job application, an email or a school portal that only accepts PDF uploads.

How to use Word to PDF

  1. Add your Word files

    Drop one or more .docx documents onto the page, or choose them from your device.

  2. Choose the page size

    Pick A4 or US Letter under Page size. Use US Letter for the US and Canada, A4 for most other countries.

  3. Click Convert to PDF

    Press Convert to PDF. Each Word file becomes its own PDF.

  4. Download your PDF

    Save the PDF and check it before you send it.

What the converted PDF keeps, and what changes

The converter rebuilds your document’s content as a clean PDF rather than imitating Word’s exact layout engine. Here’s what to expect:

  • Kept: headings, paragraphs, bold and italic text, bulleted and numbered lists, tables and images.
  • Changed: the original fonts are replaced with a clean standard font, so line breaks may fall in different places.
  • Simplified: complex layouts such as text boxes, multi-column designs and precise positioning are flattened into a simpler flow.

When to use Word’s own Save as PDF

If you have Microsoft Word installed and need a pixel-perfect copy, including custom fonts, use File > Save As and pick PDF. Google Docs can do the same with File > Download > PDF Document.

This tool is for the times you don’t have Word at hand: on a borrowed computer, a Chromebook, a phone or a tablet. For text-led documents such as reports, essays and letters, the result is clean and readable.

For a resume or cover letter, open the PDF afterward and scan for awkward line breaks, especially around headings and bullet points. A quick look takes a minute and avoids surprises when a recruiter opens the file.

Old .doc files and other formats

Only the modern .docx format is supported. If you have an older .doc file, open it in Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs and save it as .docx first, then convert it here.

For plain notes, TXT to PDF is simpler, and spreadsheets have their own converter in Excel to PDF.
